On a quiet spring morning in 1942, a German staff car turned onto an ordinary street in Nazi-occupied Prague.
Inside was one of the Third Reich’s most feared men, a figure so brutal the Czech people called him “the Butcher”.
What he didn’t know was that just ahead of him, weapons hidden beneath their coats, a handful of ᴀssᴀssins lay in wait.
They had trained for months for this moment, knowing that once they acted, there would be no turning back.
But how did they come to be standing on that street? What unfolded in the seconds that followed, and how far would the consequences reach? Using rare Gestapo and SS reports documenting those events in meticulous detail, along with eyewitness testimony and modern technology, we’ll investigate, moment-by-moment, the story of Operation Anthropoid: The ᴀssᴀssination of Reinhard Heydrich.
